After installing my brother's new graphics card ati 5770 1gb, his computer boots very slow. When you press the power button, you can hear the computer running, see the fans spinning, but the monitor shows no picture until 15-30 seconds later you hear the computer beep and you can see the post. Other than that the computer runs great.
Last month, he had a used 8800gtx that went out in 3 days. I don't think it's the power supply because it was bought only last month and has enough wattage and current on the rails to support the card and computer. I wasn't sure if this was a BIOS setting that needs to be tweaked, possibly updating the bios would help? could the motherboard battery be going out? (before the 8800gtx, the computer was unplugged and sitting around for a year.) Could this damage his computer parts? Is it ok to leave it alone?
ps: I not talking about windows loading slow
Specs?
Not exact on the specs yet, because my brother is sleeping. But he has 2 gigs of ram, a dual core amd chipset of some sort and some motherboard. This is no outdated hardware. Ill get back to the specs once he awakens

[QUOTE=tgp1994;18818339]So... why did you get a GPU that's even worse than the one that went?
I'm not being a Fanboy here either, [b]I think the 8800GTX has better performance specs than the ATI card you got.[/b][/QUOTE]
Haha, No. The 5770 eats the 8800GTX any day.
Just look at this: (The 9800GT is around the same performance wise as a 8800GTX)

Post what the psu is, as in what company made it?

Guess I should get updated on my ATI cards. I agree with the previous poster, you should check out the wattage on the PSU.
well considering the 8800gtx draws more power than the 5770, the power supply is a brand new 650 watt antec powersupply. And the graphics card swap changed the time it takes to show post
mobo: asus m2n-e sli im thinking a bios update will solve the problem, since the 5770 is newer technology
